The final report of the Australia 2020 summit has now been released, and can be downloaded here. It’ll be interesting to see if summit participants who were critical of the distortions in the initial report of their discussions think this is any better as a summation of what was discussed and decided. It’s also interesting to reflect on how the whole thing has completely disappeared from the media agenda in such a short period of time - no one’s been revisiting all the dire warnings of the supposed political pitfalls of ignoring summit recommendations, or for that matter, the claims that it would have a profound effect on policy thinking and debate. I’ll be very surprised if the final report prompts much sustained analysis in the MSM.

Had a very quick look at the sustainability chapter.
10-minute take: my original view from the summary report wasn’t that far wrong; and throw in “full of airy-fairy crap” (”zero waste” policies? Only if you don’t count money as a wastable commodity).
Yep, it is better.
Excellent.

An outstanding success. Now all that remains is to submit the final report to the sub-committee’s working party in triplicate for review and forward the recomendations to the under-secretariat responsible for reintergrating protocol systemic explicatory fudgecake. After the appropriate procedures the Council For Eazypeezy Utopia will appoint an oversight myopia to ensure that the sound of laughter spreads as hand takes hand (in golden land) whilst pigs fly overhead.

No more falsehood or derision, golden living, dreams of visions, mystic crystal revelations and the mind’s true liberation…
hey Guys!
Realize how lucky you are. No other western government has ever tried this.
No time for derision - but time for decision!
